  • Anyone who is paying attention has already started…

    Fortunately, most day to day needs are not shipped from china; TP and foodstuffs. But the darkest part of this is the knock on effects-- tech; hard drives, phones and devices; toys and consumer goods

    If they are not being shipped, they don’t need longshoremen to unload-- they don’t need truckers to get them to distribution centers- they don’t need people to work in the stores. And when all those people lose hours or jobs; they can’t spend money at other stores or restaurants…

    The USA is a goods and services economy and when you gut goods; no one can afford any services.

    We rely on trade and the President has such a bass awkward understanding of economics and is so dogmatic in his refusal to listen

    Yeah we’re fucked.

    Anyone in Norway want to adopt me?

















  • Yes with a however…

    Gibson-esque cyberpunk no. But Wargames 80s proto cyberpunk yes. Sneakers has that early 90s version.

    They were not looking to explore the depths of cyberpunk; but showing the unwashed masses that the computers and the geeks who use them are out there. They both do a great job in showing that those computer things like any tool could have a negative use Trying to explain that to Bob from Iowa you’ve got to go slow and use small words. Not because Bob is stupid rather because Bob has no idea about any of it.

    Today you’d assume that people know about the internet and that computers talk to each other.

    I’d go with a proto cyberpunk/ mass market intro cyber label
